Publisher's Description

Kit Livingstone met his great-grandfather Cosimo in a rainy alley in London where he discovered the truth about alternate realities.

Now hes on the runand on a questtrying to understand the impossible mission he inherited from Cosimo: to restore a map that charts the hidden dimensions of the multiverse. Survival depends on staying one step ahead of the savage Burley Men.

The key is the Skin Mapbut where it leads and what it means, Kit has no idea. The pieces have been scattered throughout this universe and beyond.

Mina, from her outpost in seventeenth-century Prague, is quickly gaining both the experience and the means to succeed in the quest. Yet so are those with evil intent who, from the shadows, are manipulating great minds of history for their own malign purposes.

Those who know how to use the ley lines have left their own world behind to travel across time and spacedown avenues of Egyptian sphinxes, to an Etruscan tufa tomb, into a Bohemian coffee shop, and across a Stone Age landscape where universes collidein this, the second quest to unlock the mystery of The Bone House.

Endorsements

“Imagine Narnia merged with Hitchhiker’s Guide, and you have a starting point for the adventures of Kit Livingstone.” – Rick M., from the inside cover.

“Lawhead vividly describes the sights, sounds and smells of the markets in Prague, the streets of Restoration England, and even the dry heat of Ancient Egypt… The premise of ley line travel is fascinating yet mysterious, with scientific definitions that are detailed without becoming too technical. The charaters are personable and complex, and it’s easy to get caught up in their search for that elusive map.” – Malinda D., from the inside cover.

“… an excellent, mysterious storyline that draws the reader in.” – Kieran, from the inside cover.

“The Bone House is a quantum, anthropological adventure story through many dimensions… If you like fantasy, science fiction, philosophy, history, adventure, and/or Christian themes, you will be well satisfied with this series.” – Courtney Dudek, Bloggers Review.

In Brief: Eden Video Transcript

“The Bright Empires Series continues in ‘The Bone House’ where the young explorer, Kit Livingstone, must navigate the multi-dimensional universe to recover the ruminants of the elusive Skin Map and rescue his lost girlfriend.”

“This exciting series blends ancient history with Einstein’s theory of relativity. Join Kit as he battles the dry heat of Ancient Egypt, navigates Restoration England, explores the markets of Prague and journeys the Stone Age countryside to stitch together the secrets of the universe.”

“Stephen Lawhead’s fan base compares this series to C.S Lewis directed by Steven Spielberg – like an intergalactic Narnia. But best of all, through philosophical musings and gripping action, Stephen cleverly lays a positive foundation for the Christian faith that’s both compelling and revelatory.”

I found what I was looking for, had an added bonus of a discount on my order, it is an easy website to use with fast delivery! Excellent service all round from a trusted Christian company!- Claire C, Bristol
